Vocabulary: ventilation of the lungs, gaseous exchange, tissue respiration 1
Ventilation of the lungs Read the last paragraph about ventilation of the lungs. Label the diagram below and draw the route the air takes to go in and out of the lungs. Content objectives: 1. Students should be able to name the organs in the respiratory system and show understanding of the route the air takes to go in and out of the lungs. 2. Students should be able to describe the process of ventilation of the lungs. Knowledge structure: Sequence Text structure: Process description [Definition of the process to describe ^Description sequence] Language objectives: 1. Students should be able to use the following vocabulary to name the organs of the respiratory system. Vocabulary: larynx, trachea, bronchus, bronchiole, alveoli, inhale, exhale 2. Students should be able to write a description sequence to describe the process of ventilation of lungs. Sentence structures: is the process by which This process is the stage in When we inhale / exhale, enters, passes through, goes/gets into/out of, the which relative clause 2
[Diagram adapted from Use the reading text and the diagram above to write a process description to describe the process involved in the ventilation of the lungs. Remember when describing a process, you need to include 2 parts in your writing: the first part is the definition of the process to describe; the second part is the description sequence. Remember the purpose of each part and make sure what you write achieves the purpose. Both parts are partly written for you. Definition of the process to describe: is the process by which air is inhaled into and the lungs. This process is the stage in respiration. Description sequence: When we, air containing 21% enters the respiratory system through the mouth and the nose. The air passes through the and the trachea into the two, which divide into many bronchioles. The air passes into these, which connect to tiny sacs called. Gaseous exchange takes place in these. When we exhale, air containing less but much more goes back from the alveoli to the bronchioles and then to the bronchi. From the bronchi, air goes back to the and then goes out of the respiratory system through the. OR Definition of the process to describe: Ventilation of the lungs is the by which air is inhaled into and exhaled out of the lungs. This process is the stage in respiration. Description sequence: we inhale, air containing 21% oxygen the respiratory system through the mouth and the nose. The air the larynx and the trachea the two bronchus, which divide into many bronchioles. The air the bronchioles, which connect to tiny sacs called alveoli. Gaseous exchange takes place in these. 3
we exhale, air containing less oxygen but much more carbon dioxide goes back from the alveoli to the bronchioles and then to the bronchi. From the bronchi, air the trachea and the larynx and then the respiratory system through the mouth and the nose. Refer to the diagram on the breathing mechanism on the last page of the reading material. Write a process explanation to explain how air is forced into and out of the lungs. Remember when explaining a process, you need to include 2 parts in your writing: the first part is the definition of the process to explain; the second part is the explanation sequence. Remember the purpose of each part and make sure what you write achieves the purpose. Definition of the process to explain: Explanation sequence: Content objective: Students should be able to Knowledge structures: + cause-effect Text structure: Language objective: Students should be able to 4

Gaseous exchange There are billions of alveoli in our lungs. The following diagram represents one alveolus and the direction of gaseous exchange. Read the section on Gaseous exchange and write in the missing words in the diagram. Content objectives: Students should be able to Exhaled air containing more and less Knowledge structures: air containing more and less Language objective(s): Students should be able to Oxygen alveolus capillary There are two important factors which allow gaseous exchange to take place quickly and easily in the lungs. Use noun phrases describing these factors to complete the sentences below. 1. allows gaseous exchange to take place quickly and easily in the lungs. 6
2. allows gaseous exchange to take place quickly and easily in the lungs. 7
Tissue respiration Read the section on tissue respiration Copy the word equation for anaerobic respiration below: Now use the example of aerobic respiration in the reading to write what this equation means: This word equation for anaerobic respiration means: Now read the explanation of anaerobic respiration in humans and write a word equation below: Definitions Definition of aerobic respiration: Aerobic respiration is the process by which glucose is broken down to release energy in the presence of oxygen. Content objectives: 1. Students should be able to explain what the word equations of anaerobic respiration in general and in humans mean. 2. Students should be able to Knowledge structure: Language objectives: Students should be able to use the following sentence structure to write a definition: Now use the definition of aerobic respiration above to write a definition of anaerobic respiration: Use the information in this section to write a definition of respiration: 8
Comparing aerobic and anaerobic respiration in humans The following table shows the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration in humans. Fill in the table using information from the reading passage. Content objective: Students should be able to explain the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration Anaerobic respiration Knowledge structure: Oxygen supply Requires Does not require Condition under which it takes place Amount of energy produced When there is enough supply. When you need more but have less supply than you need. For example, when. Text structure: Language objective: Products Now, write a comparison-contrast text to explain the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration in humans using the information you have filled in in the table. Remember: In the Statement of comparison, you state the main difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. In the Points of comparison, you describe each point of difference as recorded in the table above. In the Summary of comparison, write a sentence to sum up the comparison. Statement of comparison: Both aerobic and anaerobic respiration take place in humans. Aerobic respiration requires 9
The table above shows 3 points of comparison.. Write one to two sentences to compare each point. CARLA has permission to share this document from the CARLA website. Points of comparison: Summary of comparison: Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration in humans take place in different conditions and produce products as according to the needs of the situations. Respiration and photosynthesis in plants Read the section on Respiration and photosynthesis in plants. Write a comparison-contrast text to explain the differences of gaseous exchange in plants under different light conditions. Remember, you are comparing the differences in gaseous exchange in plants under different light conditions but not comparing respiration and photosynthesis in plants. Use the information in the table in the reading passage to help you. Content objective: Knowledge structure: 10
Start with a sentence stating that both respiration and photosynthesis involve gaseous exchange. Then state the difference in the conditions under which gaseous exchange takes place in respiration and photosynthesis. CARLA has permission to share this document from the CARLA website. Statement of comparison: In this part, compare the rates of respiration and photosynthesis, and the amount of intake and release of gases in different light conditions. Write about each light condition in a separate paragraph. Text structure: Language objective(s): Points of comparison: In bright light, such as on a sunny day, In darkness, such as at night, In dim light, 11
In this part, sum up the comparison by writing about the net intake and net release of gases in the 3 different light conditions. Summary of comparison: 12
